He Rose From the Dead.
E,ojn the Chfonoo Her1ii


The W. II. Upham, who is at the head of
the Upham Manufacturing Company, which
lost 500, 900 by the great fire at Marshfield,
Wis, was the hero of a singular adventure
when young man He was a member of
a Wisconsin regiment which participated in
the first battle of Bull Run, and was thought
to have been killed. His comrades saw him
fall and none of them made any doubt of
his death. Being the first victim of the
strife in his own neigh5orhood, there was
great public mourning for him. A memo
rial service was held in which thousands of
people participated and many eloquent ell-
logies were passed upon him.
Six months later Upham appeared in
Washington with "A party of exchanged
prisoners He had been desperately wound
ed and taken prisoner, hut the Confederates
had attended to his wants, and when the
exchange took place he was sent home.
When in Washington he was taken to the
White House by Judge Doolittle, then
Senator, and introduced TO President Lincoln
as a soldier who had come back from the
grave. As Upbam was on all the records as
dead, Mr. Lincoln ordered correct entry TO
be made, and then gave the boy an hon or
able discharge from the service When he
reached his home III Racine he was the lion
of the hour and the people who had partici-
pated in the memorial meeting in his honor
got up jubilee which was hardly less nu-
InerouSly attended. Later on in the strug-
gle the fortunes of individuals were not SO
closely watched

that Miss Cleveland is a rather common

RICE ON THE ALTAMAHA.
The Effects of the Destruction of Crops
on Darien-Other Items.

Inc 6ueCUS OF Un6 OBSTRUCTION OF CrOOS
on Darien-Other Items.
From the Do,ien (Ga) Gazette
Since the news of the unusually heavy
freshets in the Ocmulgee and the Oconee
reached us, rice planters, and not only rice
planters, but field laborers and merchants,
have been awaiting the result with trem-
bling anxiety. This is not to be wondered
at, as the industry, although trifling in
comparison with our timber trade so
far as capital is concerned, is peculiarly
Darien's main support In the timber
business about ten times more money is
circulated, but only very small proper
ton of the capital employed in this stays at
home and store-keepes reap but little bene-
fit from it. The rice planting industry is
different. There is no costly material used
in this coming far from home Every dol
lar of the money invested, with the excep-
tion of profits OF planters, is paid ont for
labor, and it is on this laboTing element
that three-fourths of our stores depend for
a support. A good crop and u safe harvest
ing are therefore matters of as vital i'm
portauce to the orekeeper and laborer as
they are to the planter.
SO far, however, the worst fears of those
interested in the rice crop have not been re-
allied. The river for the last three or four
days has been slowly but steadily rising, yet
up to this writing, FRIDAY 3 p. ln.) without
doing much damage. Thursday morning
intelligence was received that the places up

no news from the Altama place, planted by

the backbone of the Altamaha rice crop,
and rs long as they are uninjurcd there is
no cause for alarm as to how the prosperity
of our city will be affected by the disastrous
flood, however heavily the losses of the
smaller planters will weigh upon them in
dividually
Speculation regarding the time of arrival
of the greatest force of the freShet differs.
Mr.. r. H. Gigniliat thinks that the present
freshet from the Oconee, was two or
three days ahead of the Ocmulgea one, and
that there is "A good chance for the most of
this TO run off before the Ocmugee pours
her seething waters in to aid in the deStiuc-
tive work
The theory is a pleasant onn to accept,
and coming as il does from an old and expo
renced rice planter, it would be foolish TO
assume that it is without foundation. Mr..
Gigniliat feels almost confident of being able
to save his crop, and so does Mayor James
Walker.
The planted area so far submerged does
not exceed 500 acres.

A NEW DIVERSION OF SOCIETY
LADIES
They Improve Their Minds While
Amusing Themselves.


NEW YORK, Aug 20-There is a suppo-
sition that everything, even of pleasure
BILE nature, in and around Boston must also
be instructive. | passed my Fourth OF
July in a delightfully."- antique town suf-
ficiently near Boston to feel it's influence in
matters of culture, amusement, etc. A
club OF young ladies, some married. others
single, have formed a reading club to ia
miliarize themselves with standard works.
Now, OF course everybody has read the
standard works as a matter of principle,
but they became standard because they
VIII always bear reading, and we all forget.
Just now the delightful club, which meets
every Saturday morning at different mem
beI's house, is engaged in re-reading and
studying the works of Washington Irving.
Last year they read Dickens, Scott and
Shakespeare. They have also read
Thackeray, Cooper and Hawthorne. Their
intention now is to devote themselves en-
tirely to the American writers after Irving
IL is not the fashion in society to talk books,
more's the pity, unless it Is some very re-
cent writer who has suddenly come into
prominence. But the best part of these
readings is the finale Whenever the club
finishes the works of an author they give a
costume party, inviting as many of their
friends as they deem desirable of both
sexes, ana each one OF the guests must ap-
pear dressed in the character of one of lrv-
ings heroes or heroines. The last costume
party was n Thackeray party; it was held
on the evening of Washingtons birthday
and was brilliant success. There We're
Jack CostiQans and Emily Fotheringays,
Major and Arthur Pendennis, The Begun,
Becky Sharp, Amelia. Dobbin and all the
other delightful familiar characters.
This is good way for people at summer
hotels to amuse themselves, and it is also a
novelty. OF course the guests would not
have time to become familiar with all the
works of great writer but some one book
might be selected, which all could surely
find time for, and then the character party
could be taken from that one book. Well
done there is much genuine amusement, as
well as instruction, in such an entertain
ment. The Bostonians consider these af-
fairs the most sensible pleasures that either
the winter or summer season affords, and as
of course only the educated and cultivated
care for such pleasures, it goes without say
ing such parties are very fashionable; and
not to be able to participate argues that one
is not considered OF sufficient mental ca
pacity to enjoy them
1t is long stride in the right direction,
from the insane sheet and pillow case par
ties that used to be so fashionable at sum-
nner resorts.

RATHER ROMANTIC.
An Atlanta Girl Falls in Love and Runs
Away With Circus Man.
From the atlanta (Ga) Journal.


From the atlanta (Ga) Journal
Two years ago Miss Minnie Averitt, an
Atlanta young lady, eloped with George
Patterson, a horizontal bar performer in
Shields circus, which had been playing an
engagement here.
The young lady and her lover fled to
Chattanooga, joining the circus at that
place.
They had been acquainted only a week,
Miss Averitt having first seen the athletic
George as he did the horizontal bar business
in the ring.
1t was the general belief that Patterson
would desert his bride and that the young
girl would find, too late, that she had loved
not wisely, but too well.
Patterson has returned to Atlanta, and
says his wife will be here next week. He
says she is in Birmingham with their baby,
who is sick but she expects to join him
here about liext Wednesday.
Instead 'of DESERVING his wife, Patterson
put her into the circus ring, taught her to
do the ''hying trapeze" act, and she became
regular attache of the circns She made
her first appearance in st. Paul, before s.
600 people. Their baby was born in Jau-
uary last, and is a little red-haired girl

The Tobacco Habit.

Dr.. w. s. Sedrle in North american Rerietc.
1t is q matter for wel-merited astonish-
ment that even men of discernment are so
ready often to select single one ont of the
endless chain of causes and attribute to it
alone certain results. Surely of all sciences
etiology is least entitled to respect And no
more glaring example of the foolish facility
mentioned exists than that common even
among eminent occulists, who charge upon
the excessive use of tobacco a certain form
of atrophy of the optic nerve. And this
they persist in doing even though that opin-
ion is based on mere supposltion, and al
though competent colleagues of their own,
residing in countries like Turkey, where the
ordinary use of tobacco fully equals what
we should term great excess, declare that
this form of disease of the eye is there utter
ly unknown. There are nations where the
smoking of tobacco is begun by infants be-
fore they can walk, and where the habit is
universal, and were these wiseacreS correct
in their etiology the entire adult population
ought logically to be blind.
Elk mo disco omness. Not a single
charge brought against tobacco has bet
ter basis. With great wisdom, it is remark
ed how much better health some individual
has attained since ceasing to use tobacco
But any decisive change in long -continued
habits-even what are termed good habits"
is often temporarily beneficial The great
curative principle OF change is what has
been successfully appealed to here-the
most powerful, and, in fact broadly CON
sidered, the only existing curative principle
In estimating the true influence of tobacco
and its congeners it is manifestly unfair to
consider individual instances of their use
Only by taking masses of men who for years
are under control as 10 their diet and habits
